Chianciano Terme is a unique health resort whose baths have been renowned since very ancient times.The earliest Etruscan findings date back to the 4th century BC and portray the Goddess Sillene. According to the legend, Sillene, who was the goddess of beauty for the Etruscans, used to hide in the spring where she often bathed and the spring soon was called by her name. The passing of time and the populations that have followed each other with different cultures have not erased the main feature of this warm land, full of colors and passion: water.

The waters of Chianciano surface from five different types of springs.

ACQUASANTAThe spring of the Acquasanta water is located in a wonderful, wide and very ancient forest.The water surfaces at a temperature of 33°C and it is drunk in the morning on an empty stomach.It is advisable to continue the therapy for at least 12 days, according to the directions given by your doctor. It is highly beneficial in case of liver and bile system pathologies, such as dyspepsia of gastrointestinal or biliary origin, biliary calculosis, and after surgery to the bile ducts, as well as in case of prolonged drug therapies.Drinking this water causes contractions of the gall bladder, which empties thus pushing the bile into the intestines. This stimulates the production of bile and helps its outflow, it also strengthens the enterophatic circulation of bile acids.The result is a considerable improvement of liver and bile functions, digestion, absorption of fats and elimination of harmful substances. Therefore, the Acquasanta water has the ability to clear the body of toxins, which is nowadays seen as a fundamental function in the medical field.
